History shows radical presidential administrations have tried and failed to cause permanent change in America. Our country is not perfect, but ultimately, the system set up by our Founding Fathers surpasses anything thought up by progressive extremists. America will survive this.

President Obama is a Marxist. I encourage all to read Karl Marx's "Das Kapital," or any biography of Vladimir Lenin. However, Mr. Obama and his radical administration will fail to transform America into a socialist nation. Their base of support is dwindling. The remaining supporters are uninformed and ignorant of history. I have asked Obama supporters about Marx and Lenin. They have never heard of them. I recently quoted Lenin in conversation. The woman I was speaking with thought I was quoting musician John Lennon. This is how out of touch Obama supporters are.

" I am beginning to think we just MAY survive Obama. I was pretty sure we wouldn't a year ago. It just goes to show the resilience of this GREAT REPUBLIC. I think he has pushed us so far to the left, we either need a true Tea Party president in 2016 to take back all that was lost or we will see that Revolution.

Blue couldnt agree more with the signage. Why do I have to press 1 for english?? "

" You know Joe, you seem to have a very selective memory. You kind of forgot what a disaster the country was in when Obama took over.

Our major investment banks were crashing and taking our whole financial system down with it. the stock market lost over half its value going from $14,200 to $6500 with no end in sight.

Monthly job loses were in the hundreds of thousands. For example the last three months of Bush's presidency we lost over 1,500,000 jobs. Check it out.

This newspaper loves to blame the Democrats and Dodd in particular for this nations demise but the first six years of Bush's adminestration had Republican majorities in the house and Senate. Every congressional committee and sub committee was headed by a Republican.

You make your arguement against Obama by labeling and name calling. When a person actually looks at the facts they'll see the direction this nation is really taking. Upward. "

" @ Soggy Socks: We have gone beyond finger pointing and name calling (well some of us have).

Neither the incumbent Republicans nor Democrats are blameless. They have made a mockery of our political system. Some folks are getting fed up with all of this limp wristed lefty rhetoric.

We are reaching a point where people will be unwilling to give up any more of the freedoms that we have fought for. Unwilling to tolerate having a ruler in our White House, chipping away at the way of life that our forebears sacrificed for. "

" incumbency, and an entrenched ruling class are the enemy of the republic. chri$ dodd is a perfect example of all that is wrong with career politicians, though many examples, from both sides of the aisle, come to mind. it's time to remove the word 're-election' from the American lexicon. "

" I'll buy that. I thought it was the height of hubris when Dodd announced that he was "retiring". How the hell do you retire from an office that you must be elected to. He really believed it was his job.

Make that one language and term limits.Pretty tough when you have these thieves making their own rules. "

" Wait in minute guys. First you're telling me to get off partisan politics and then you're resurecting Dodd!!!

Thieves!!! You say "Thieves" Blue!! Didn't you see the front page of today's paper concerning medical/hospital costs? Why do you think Waterbury Hospital wants to go "For profit" so badly. What do you think their plan is? Once Waterbury goes "Profit" they have to pay property taxes to the city on all their buildings, land and equipment. Plus all sorts of corporation taxes. Then turn a profit for their shareholders. Where do you think all that extra revenue is going to come from? Don't you see a Red Flag.

You know, unless we're Bill Gates or Warren Buffet types, we're all just one good illness away from bankrupcy. Almost 60% of personal bankrupcies are due to medical costs.

What this newspaper, and the hospital have done is switch the blame over to the unions and Malloy. A smoke screen.

Yeah, I know you guys have total hatred for Malloy, but ask yourselves this, "Maybe this is the one time Malloy got it right" "

" @ Sandy it is totally predictable where you will line up on any given subject. Learn to think for yourself. Extreme partisan politics is the problem. You will bite on anything the left throws out there.

If I were Dodd, I would send you a Christmas card from my place in Ireland. "

" Didn't vote for Bush. Didn't vote for Obama. I will say this. Those with Money do not like Obama's policies and do not trust him. They are sitting back waiting for him to retire before investing in the US again. I don't blame them.

As far as the economy coming back? It's not rebounding very slowly because of Obama. It's rebounding very slowly DESPITE of Obama. Call it racism, partisan politics, whatever. Had Romney been elected, there would already have been a huge resurgence in the economy.

He has been trying to divide us by income bracket, by sex, religion, and race. He wants us fighting each other on the front lawn so he can come in the back door and steal our country. He is a traitor, plain and simple.

I think we here writing all want the same things and have different ideas how to achieve them. Safety, success for our children, freedom to worship ect. I also believe some in Hartford and DC want something totally different from us and disguise it. "

" since it came up, my health insurance does a damn good job of keeping me out of the poor house. i've mentioned my wife's health before. what to expect after jan 1? i know what the socialist in the white house wants, and it's pretty scary. i don't like the thought of some bean counter being involved in her care.

this is as non partisan as it gets....every incumbent out, now. no pension, no benefits. go. for too long, the thieves have been running the show. yes, sandy, theif and politician are synonymous. "
